A regional study of gender equality observatories in West and Central Africa, carried out by Claudy Vouhé for UN Women
Sources: UN Women
This regional study offers an inventory and analysis of the legal framework of gender observatories, their attributions, functions and missions. It is based on exchanges with 21 countries, in particular the eleven countries that have created observatories. It compares the internal organisation and budgets of the observatories between countries, looks at operational practices, in particular the degree of involvement in the collection and use of data, and identifies obstacles and good practices in terms of influencing pro-gender equality public policies. Finally, the study draws up a list of strategic recommendations intended for observatories, supervisory bodies and technical and financial partners.

This article focused on the story of community living in a wildlife corridor that links India and Nepal, namely the Khata Corridor, which bridges Bardiya National Park of Nepal and Katarnia Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttar Pradesh, India.
This article revealed how the wildlife mobility in the corridor affects community livelihoods, mobility, and social inclusion, with a sense of differential impacts on farming and marginalised communities.

Event Description
The workshop will be run by Professor Patricia Rogers and will take place in Berne at the Federal Office of Personnel, Eigerstrasse 71.
Many programs and projects do not have the characteristics that traditional evaluation addresses – they often do not have fixed objectives identified in advance, do not have agreed implementation processes but instead need to change throughout their lifetime in response to emerging challenges and opportunities, especially those presented by a changing cast of partners and stakeholders. In recent years there has been increasing interest in applying ideas from complexity science to evaluation to address these challenges. There have also been concerns about the practicality of doing this.
This two-day workshop will
1. Outline the different aspects of complexity that evaluation might need to address, distinguishing what is complex (emergent) from what is complicated (many component.
2. Introduce examples of evaluations that have used various strategies and approaches to address complex issues –(developmental evaluation etc.
3. Explore workshop questions, practical problems and examples from the group.
The program will involve a combination of presentations, discussion, and exercises. There will be time to ask questions and time to apply the ideas to your own examples.
This practice-based workshop will equip participants with techniques to identify different aspects of complexity in their evaluations and how to address them.
Registration is now open on-line at: http://de.amiando.com/WEJXWVB
The detailed 2-day programme will be available from April 1 and the deadline for registration is April 30th.
Fees for the both the above 2-day workshop are CHF650.00 for SEVAL members and CHF700.00 for non members, exclusive of travel and meals. (Promotional Code for SEVAL members is SEVAL2014)
